Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum

Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum was launched in 2020 as a more intense interpretation of the original 2006 Black Orchid Eau de Parfum. This amplified version was created to deepen the sensuality and richness of the original, placing greater emphasis on its darker, more opulent facets. It remains a unisex composition but leans into a deeply decadent and luxurious profile. The scent is bold, velvety, and undeniably commanding, capturing Tom Ford’s signature aesthetic of glamour and seduction.

The opening is sultry and sumptuous, led by the sweet juiciness of ripe black plum paired with the earthy decadence of black truffle. These top notes exude richness and mystery from the very first spray, with the plum offering a luscious fruitiness while the truffle introduces an almost gourmand depth. There's an intoxicating density here, setting the tone for a deeply immersive olfactory experience.

At the heart, the signature black orchid blooms in full force—dark, floral, and sensually narcotic. Ylang-ylang supports the floral profile with a creamy, exotic touch, adding to the fragrance’s plush, velvety feel. These middle notes convey sophistication and drama, evoking an image of midnight elegance and velvet-draped opulence.

The base reveals the parfum’s most indulgent aspects. Rum absolute flows through the dry-down with boozy warmth, enriched by smooth patchouli that adds earthy resonance. The composition lingers with an addictive trail that is both smoky and sweet, amplified by subtle balsamic undertones that enhance its staying power and allure.
